8.0 ON-GOING R & D PROJECTS

8.1 MINISTRY OF TEXTILES

(i) Project Title: Synthesis of optical whiteners with good photo stability and

improvements in the bleaching processes to produce photo stable bright white and

pastel shades woolen casual fashion knitwear, sports and leisurewear products and

carpets using Indian and other cheaper imported qualities of wool.

Objectives:

i. Synthesis of optical whiteners with good photostability and Improvements in the bleaching

processes to produce photostable bright white and pastel shades woollen casual fashion

knitwear, sports and leisurewear products and carpets using Indian and other cheaper

imported qualities of wool.

Progress of work:

The colour and photostability of fibres are important qualities, particularly for the production of

brilliant white and bright pastel shade products that are essential for new and rapidly expanding

casual apparel markets. The photostability of wool is poor compared with cotton and synthetic

fibres. Wool has many excellent qualities that other fibres are unable to emulate, but its

achievable whiteness and its photostability when exposed to sunlight are both areas where

wool compares rather poor. Current commercial bleaching processes for wool are far less

efficient than those used on cotton and synthetics and can sensitize the wool to photo yellowing

on exposure to sunlight. The use of fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs) on bleached wool

improves whiteness significantly, but commercial use of FWAs on wool result into very poor

photostability of FWA-treated wool, in particular when garments are wet after laundering and

exposed to direct sunlight during line drying.

Project work:-

● In this project a total of 6 OBA schemes were studied and synthesized at our lab.

● All the OBA's were checked for their Melting point, Emission and Absorption Spectra.

● Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) testing was done on the OBA's showing better results. All

the targeted structures were achieved.

● Enzymatic Bleaching Process was studied and implemented on wool plain fabric.

● A combination of oxidative bleaching with the bleaching enzyme laccasse was implemented;

the results were studied and compared to that of normal bleaching type.

● Application of all the OBA's were done on the fabric sample.

● Testings related to Whiteness Index (WI), Accelerated weathering using Xe Arc (UV A+ UV B),

tensile strength of the fabric was done.

● Tensile Strength testing shows the amount of fiber damaged during the process, thus affecting

the lifespan of the fabric.

(ii) Project Title: Development of sports gears (inner wears, socks, bands, leggings etc.)

with controlled release microencapsulated natural essential, herbal oils for therapeutic

benefits including protection of health, skincare and recovery of injuries and hygiene of

sportsperson.

Objectives:

i. Development of sports gears (inner wears, socks, bands, leggings etc.) with controlled release

microencapsulated natural essential, herbal oils for therapeutic benefits including protection of

health, skincare and recovery of injuries and hygiene of sportsperson.

Progress of work:

Over the last two decades, there has been a huge increase in participation in active sports all over

the world. India's participation has also grown considerably over the years. As sports have become

more and more competitive, there are more physical as well as mental challenges for a

sportsperson. Thus safety and hygiene of sportsperson have also become crucial especially in

active sports where he/she has to deal with a lot of physical stress, sweat and dirt on a regular

basis. Also during the practice / game, many players gets injured or some serious health problem

occurs which require long time of recovery. It is not only important to have appropriate sportswear

tailor made to meet requirements of various sports for better performance but his safety and

hygiene must also be taken care of while designing these new sports wears.

Since ancient times, natural herbal oils in ayurvedic are used for their various functional and

therapeutic properties such as:

v Arnica oil can help reduce swelling, protect against infections, and relieve pain. Many

professional athletes today even use a topical homeopathic preparation of arnica oil as first aid

relief for sports- or exercise-related pain or injury.

v Lemongrass oil can help relax and tone your muscles, as well as relieve muscle pain,

rheumatism etc. Lemongrass oil can also help relieve stress, anxiety, irritability, and insomnia,

and prevent drowsiness.

v Roman chamomile is a powerful anti-inflammatory. It is the ideal choice for red, inflamed or

sensitive, acne-prone skin. It is also used as a medicine for leg injury.

v Lavender is the most well-known of the essential oils, and for good reason. It has antiviral and

antibacterial properties, which can reduce the healing time for scrapes, bites and stings.

v Eucalyptus oil exhibits anti-bacterial properties and pain relief. One very important reason why

many individuals use eucalyptus oil is its ability to address mental exhaustion through creating

a cooling and refreshing effect. As a stimulant, it helps eradicate exhaustion and mental

sluggishness, and rejuvenates an individual. Eucalyptus is a powerful antispasmodic, antiviral

and antibacterial oil that is ideal for coughs and colds.

v Peppermint is wonderful cooling oil that can help you beat the heat of a hot day or a fever.

v Citronella oil is popularly used as an insect repellent. Citronella can help treat and prevent

cold, fever, and headaches. It also possesses antiseptic properties.

v Tea tree oil is powerful antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic oil.


11

Topical use of these oils in form of lotions or creams are mostly used in first aid but they are easily

washed off during day to day activities and hence do not provide long term exposure to its active

ingredients required for healing. In order to have effective healing, affected skin has to be exposed

continuously.

Microencapsulation is a well-known technique used in various industries with an advantage of

controlled released of any active ingredient over a period of time. This technique could be very well

used for prolonging the exposure of active ingredients over affected areas in order to reduce the

healing time of the athletes as well as provide safety and hygiene required during active sports.

We had microencapsulated these natural herbal oils and applied on different sports wear which

were worn next to skin such as wrist band/ protective wrist band, socks, compression leggings,

gloves, head band, sports bra, ankle brace etc. and studied its effect for pain relief and injury

recovery, anti-bacterial and other therapeutic properties.

There are few new commercially available sports socks having anti-bacterial anti-fungal

properties which uses nano-silver as an active ingredient whereas there are health concerns over

the safety of nanoparticles when used in direct contact with skin, whereas natural herbal and

ayurvedic oils are safe and have no adverse health effects.

survey and analysis of commercially available samples path for development of immobilized

detergent enzyme was found.

Immobilization work of commercially available enzymes was studied and elaborated by various

methods using alginate, egg albumin and silica carrier.

The effects of reaction parameters such as pH, temperature and detergent components on the

immobilized enzymes have been studied.

Based on extensive study, commercially available detergents samples have been procured and

analysed for their detergent action and other physical parameters. Commercially available various

enzymes such as protease, amylase, lipase and mixture of amylase, cellulose, and lipase have been

procured. The activities of these enzymes have been checked. Incorporation of immobilized enzyme

in commercial detergent has been studied.

Four new detergent formulations incorporating immobilized enzyme has been studied.

Performance Evaluation of developed detergent is initiated. Commercially available wool fabrics

have been procured and various methods of stains have been studied. Washing process parameters

were standardized and optimized based on evaluation parameters. Performance of products after

washing was evaluated.

Domestic and industrial / commercial trials are conducted.

(iv) Design and development of light weight and high impact resistance sports goods

Objectives:

i. Development of low weight, high efficient cricket gears

ii. To evaluate the performance of player using the developed products


13

Progress of work:

Cricket Batting gears are an essential component of any cricket player's protection against the

impact of cricket ball.

The earlier gears used different composite foams to make the cricket gears lighter in weight but the

impact resistance against the cricket ball was purely depend on the thickness of the foam used.

Therefore, in order to achieve the higher impact resistance, higher thickness of the foam is used,

which makes the gears thick which consequently increase the flexural rigidity of the gears. Here,

cricket gears is made by using innovative technology like shear thickening fluids based on Para

Aramid composite, and different light weight composites using different fibers combinations etc.

which will not only make the lighter weight cricket gears but also will enhance the impact resistance

against cricket ball without increasing the thickness of gears, which in consequence doesn't hamper

the range of movement of player and enhance the performance efficiency.

The light weight cricket gears, will not only substitute in replacement of currently used heavy weight

cricket gears but also enhance the performance efficiency of the player like: agility of batsman

running between the wickets, better protection from the cricket ball impact etc.

.

(v) Design and Development of sportswear and sports accessories having Thermo Physiological Comfort properties in order to enhance the performance assessed by using a Sweating Thermal Manikin system under different environmental conditions

Objectives:

i. To develop Suitable Sportswear/active wears for Kabaddi & Kho-Kho sports for

Tropical Indian climatic conditions for improved performance of Indian sports

persons

ii. To indigenously develop Balaclava for extremely low climate.

Non Newtonian sheets developed for impact resistance in cricket.


14

Progress of work:

● Literature review:

Active sports like tennis and soccer demands high body movements which in turn

increase the heat stress due to high level of metabolic heat generation which is in the

range of 800-1200 W. This amount of heat can increase the body core temperature by o2 C. To control the core body temperature of the body, sweat generation takes place and

heat of vaporization of water is used to give cooling effect. Hence, the main functional

requirement of high active sportswear is sweat absorbing, fast drying and cooling.

Therefore, thermo physiological comfort properties of sportswear are very much

essential for enhancing the performance of an athlete. In different environmental o oconditions like from. -20 C upto + 50 C, the results of thermo physiological comfort

properties and performance of a sports garment and sports accessories cannot be

quantify by using human perception in the field trials. Therefore, it is highly essential to

design and develop the sportswear and sports accessories having Thermo

Physiological Comfort properties by assessing the performance using a sweating

thermal manikin system where the parameters can not only be accurately quantify but

also reproduce under different set of environmental conditions for better performance.

● Development of yarn:

Polyester, Polyester/cotton and polyester /viscose Blended yarn were developed using

different techniques. Testing such as strength, mass evenness etc were carried out for

optimization of yarn blend.

● Development of fabrics:

Development of Polyester, Polyester/cotton and polyester /viscose Blended yarn and

producing the knitted sports jersey.

Testing for thermo-physiological comfort properties such as: quick dry, moisture

management, Thermal insulation properties, breathable, high wickability, good handle

properties were carried out.

Comparison of results of initial sample developed products (such as thermal insulation

properties, moisture management properties) with market available products by

established brands.

● Observations

It is observed that initial developed sports garments have better heat release properties,

moisture management properties, drying rate properties, wicking properties etc. than

commercially available garments.

9.0 Completed R&D Projects

9.1 Ministry of Textiles

(i) Project Title: Synthesis of water soluble fluorescent colorants for high visible hydrophilic textile substrates

Objectives:

i. Synthesis of water soluble fluorescent colorants

ii. Purification and Characterization of synthesized water soluble fluorescent

colorants.

iii. Application of synthesized water soluble fluorescent on Natural Textile substrate

iv. Measurement and evaluation of fluorescence of developed product

Achievements :

High-visibility (HV) clothing is clothing worn that has highly reflective properties or a colour

that is easily discernible from any background. High visible textiles have a privileged

position in sports-textiles, high altitude clothing and similar functional textiles. High visible

textiles are dyed with fluorescent colorants (dyes, pigments) which are water insoluble

therefore these colours can be applied only onto polyester substrate. Water insolubility of

fluorescent dyes restricts it use to only polyester substrate and therefore these colorants

cannot be applied to natural hydrophilic substrate like wool, silk and cotton though these

substrate has better performance properties and offers many advantage over polyester.

Under this project we synthesized benzthiazole, benzimidazole and keto acid based

fluorescent acid azo dyes for protein fibre. Synthesized dyes characterised by 1H NMR,

13C NMR, and FT-IR and CHN analysis. Spectral characteristics of these dyes studied in

different polarity solvents. Most of the benzimidazole, benzthiazole and keto acid based

synthesised dyes shows stoke shift above 50 nm indicating fluorescence behaviour of

synthesised molecules. After application on wool and silk, dyed fabric is evaluated under

Day light and UV light (366nm). Most of the synthesised dyes show very good to excellent

fluorescence under UV Light. Below mention image indicates the yellow and red

fluorescence of synthesised dyes. The antibacterial activities of these dyes were tested

against Staphylococcus auerus (Gram +ve), Klebsiella pneumonia (Gram -ve) bacteria by

Agar-well diffusion test method. The dyed substrate evaluated for fluorescence nature,

UPF, UV-A and UV-B blocking and fastness properties like wash, light, and rubbing

fastness. These work envisaged synthesis of new water soluble fluorescent molecules in

order to address future needs of textile segment, and keep India on forefront as dye

exporter.

Wool Fabric dyed with Synthesised Fluorescent Dyes (Under 366nm)

(ii) Project Title: Development of active fitness clothing like gym and yoga wear with infrared thermal reflecting property to enhance body fitness Objectives:

i. To develop active fitness clothing like gym and yoga wear.

ii. To give treatment of infrared reflecting agents on developed clothing

Achievements :

Broader objective of the project was to develop far infrared reflecting garments. The

developed far infrared reflecting finish was applied to the fabric and testing was done to

study reflection of far infrared radiations to enhance body fitness. This project has led to the

optimized process route, which can be implemented at decentralized sector to fetch good

value for the apparel fabrics as well as to provide good health to the user. The fabric samples

developed in this project are able to provide warmness for the users. All the objectives

proposed in the project are successfully achieved. Different knitted fabrics (tops and

bottoms) were developed for yogawear/gymwear with different GSMs including body fitted

garments. Treatment of infrared reflecting agents on developed clothing were successfully

completed with different types of mineral powder. Developed yoga wear/gym wear shows

excellent properties and good results when tested for moisture management test, water

vapour permeability, air permeability, Far infrared thermal reflection of fabrics.

and other hilly terrains of India. As these woolen and carpet industries are decentralized

located at far distances, often it is not possible to have a common effluent treatment plant

(CETP) for entire region. Hence most of these industry and CFC have to deal with the

effluent problems on their own. Membrane bioreactor has been developed for zero

discharge of effluent from woolen carpet sector and common facility centers. The treatability

was study with different effluent passing through the MBR reactors. Outcome of the process

was studied and the final values of the COD and BOD were under the Pollution Control

Board. A pilot scale bio reactor of size of 500 liters per day capacity was developed and

industry trials were done.

10.0 TESTING ACTIVITIES

■ During the year under review, Textile Testing Laboratory, Eco Testing Laboratories of WRA and

COE Sportech earned revenue of Rs. 172.09 lakhs

■ During the year under review Revenue generated through Pilot Plant : - Rs. 17.50 Lakhs
